People do good because they are
human,
not because they are religious!

Do not give God any credit for the good they do, they did it!

In Response to a comment on an Article Called The
Josiah Effect which argues that the Bible God urges violence

"I would argue that every philosophy and religion is capable of being
perverted and twisted to conform to whatever a person or group chooses.
Nearly every religion and philosophy the world has known has been used for
nefarious purposes." You are saying religion is always good and the problem
is it is being abused. That is rubbish. Even the Bible admits religion is
not all good or necessarily good because man is not all good. So the Bible
condemns man-made religion. It claims to give you the one true religion,
Christianity. People who say religion is always good are absurdly indicating
that it is as good to worship your garden gnome as it is God. All religions
are not the same or equally good. And people who say that religion is always
good are encouraging say Islamists not to apologise for what crimes some
Islamists do in the name of religion, "It is nothing to do with our faith so
we will not apologise." Sorry but the murders done by Christianity and Islam
show that as no other religion was even half as bad that there is something
harmful in those faiths that produces some terrorists. A religion can make
some people terrorists without it being clear how. That is enough to
discourage the religion through educating the members and supporting them if
they choose to do the right thing and quit. Saying things like Christian or
Muslim violence has nothing to do with the Christian or Muslim religion
denies that it does have something to do with religion. Not all of them are
terrorists but faith has a role to play in turning some people into
terrorists. Believers who are not terrorists are indirectly accomplices in
the sense that faith can have a bad effect on some normal people. Do not
insult mentally ill people by saying all terrorists are mentally ill and
would still be bad without religion. The terrorism does not represent all
the religion unless it is clearly scriptural but what does represent the
religion is how it is a flowerbed that grows some gross flowers.
